Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

Reminder that pretty much every author you know has (verifiably!) had their work stolen to train on. I don't write like AI, AI fucking tries to write like me.

What are the names that give you a fate? A young woman who gets pregnant to spite her father in a Medieval song is named Janet. A young woman who's Perfect and Accomplished but Beset By Difficulties in a Regency romance is Jane. (Jane Eyre wasn't hot, but her author wasn't named Jane lol)

the Black Panthers were right

Absolutely bodying myself because APPARENTLY THE LADY FROM FAIRPORT CONVENTION SANG THE B-PART WHEN THEY TOURED TOGETHER, I AM NEVER BEATING THE RENFAIRE MUSIC ALLEGATIONS!!!!!

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

'Island Lake, California' - an aerial embroidery commission from last September I haven't shared yet! The right hand side was a nightmare at times, very busy with textures and elements and odd shapes. I hope it came out effective though? I don't have much experience in rocky landscapes :)

Crushing: One of the most legendary musicians of your lifetime puts Kraft Singles on tacos.

American sports rivalries are nice and all, but India is about to play Pakistan in a world cup cricket match and the loser is probably going to try and start a war with the winner for the next 3 days so there's that

finally painted the dumbest 3D sculpt i’ve made to date #art

Lrp for my money, I think a lot of the issue is that some people look like they know what elastic is and would like to go back to wearing it. As they said in the Chronicles of Crestomanci: they don't look dressed; they look dressed up. An actor has to look like they're in THEIR clothes.

There are some actors you just can't buy in period dramas. People say it's coz of botox and veneers etc but I think it's because some people just look like they know what a Twix is. Once you've seen it you can't un-see it.

who was the first person to see a frozen lake and be like “get me my sharpest shoes”

I am ABSOLUTELY reading this as HARD PROOF that Romans farmed ichthyosaurs. It is fact now. Sorry.

Turns out firebombing a walmart IS effective but the only people with the balls to do it are the winemoms you've been shitting on for the past ten years

kind of obsessed with the wall art at this sushi place

how many times have i read "actually AI Is Useful but only for constructing information from huge datasets" and it actually doesn't even do that lmao

Romance

@handspun.bsky.social while throwing stuffies back and forth with James: "He thought he was here for ninja training, but now he's getting thrown all over the place!"

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Not satisfied with rolling back vaccines and climate crisis prevention, the Trump administration has invested $80 billion in KNIFE CLOUD, a cloud that throws knives at humans. It's the invention of tech bros who fund Trump & his allies' campaigns. Getting sky-stabbed is the future, let's embrace it

Hello, people of bluesky, if you are just joining us—here is an old comic I made about Dracula

This is so spot on

It snowed enough to sculpt a fat little tyrannosaurus today!

The first time I saw it, the statue at the death site had a bullseye on the back and sign that said "INSERT SPEAR HERE".

This is blackout poetry to me

Happy Valentines Day! Happy Day of Love! 💖 And as the wise have said through the ages, down through the Superbowl, The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate is Love www.youtube.com/shorts/e7KEi...

My guitar teacher keeps describing the folk music I like as "renfaire music," so I looked up a LotR filk song I grew up with and now I'm really excited to play it on the acoustic guitar, with my own voice accompanying.

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

love is in the air

What the fuck is wrong with this guy. I was just writing about this Reagan today and referenced the time he laughed it up with Richard Nixon in 1971, calling a UN delegation from Tanzania monkeys and laughing that they weren't wearing shoes. I am not voting for this guy so find a better candidate

Okay everyone, be sure to drink plenty of fluids and mind your electrolytes to ensure a full and satisfying bladder when it's your turn.

People don't talk about acrylates in UV-cured resin NEARLY enough! Gel polish isn't the same as nail polish and getting it on your skin is a VERY serious allergy hazard you never really hear about! Gel polish is a professional product that's packaged and marketed like a household product.

coworkers five year old daughter saw me drawing so she asked me to draw kpop demon hunters. i have never seen this movie but i can't say no to a kid
